Paris (WNS) — A forum at Orleans University on "The Rights of Man in Danger," sponsored,by left- - wing Protestant: and catholic groups, excluded delegations from the French Defense Committee for Soviet Jews and the Committee for Jews h^Arab Countries. The Jewish delegations were accused of being "Zionist propagandists who deny the rights of man." The Jewish delegates protested the forum's refusal to denounce anti-Semitism and the "vast Palestinian propaganda" distributed at the meeting.
NEW YORK (WNS) — the American Jewish ., Committee has called upon the government of Chile to , "be alert to any signs or acts of anti-Semitism" in the waki* of the overthrow of the Allende government. In a statement by AJCommittee president Elmer L. Winter, the organization pointed to the signs.of growing anti-Semitism that appeared in the press and elsewhere prior to the military coup. Meanwhile in Buenos Aires, Mark Turkow, secretary of the Latin . American Jewish Congress reported that in talks with N Chile he has been assured that Jewish institutions were ; not harmed during the coup. However there was no information about the Jews who held high posts on the Allende government. In addition, a number of Jewish youths, less than 100, are among the 13,000 political refugees from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay who sought asylum in Chile but are now considered "ex- termists" by the Chilean military junta. It was reported that Volodia Toitelbaum, the Chilean Com¬ munist .Party Senator, was in Rome.
WASHINGTON (WNS) „.- ,The_internatjpjiflU^.. Federation of Airline pilots Association (IFALPA) is polling its 50,000 members in 65 countries on direct action against aerial hijacking and aginst other forms . of terrorism directed against civil aviation. Capt. James O'Grady, the group's president, charged at a press conference in.Rome that the General Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has "almost certainly been a'failure" as far as coming up with effective measures against air piracy.
House Committee Postpones Amendment Vote For Favored Nation Trade Treatment For USSfl
Washington (WNS) — The House Ways ahd Means Committee has postponed its vote on the Mills-Vanik Amendment linking most favored nation trade treatment for the Soviet Union with a relaxation in Soviet emigration policies. Secretary of State - designate Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, who was scheduled to testify against the amendment, also can¬ celled his appearance before the committee. Rep. Al Ullman, (p. Ore.), the committee's chairman,, noted that more time was needed to cool "the emotions" in Congress toward the Soviet Union;
In a later development it was learned that the com¬ mittee '.'■ may, ^drop- all references,- to most favored nation status from the Trade Refprm Act which would
ministration;: would be unable to grant this status to the Soviet Union despite the Soviet-American Agreement, of last October. The Senate meanwhile voted to cori- . demn the Soviet Union for its harsh treatment pf dissident intellectuals and demanded
that President Nixon apply pressure during current trade and disarmament talks to end Soviet repression. The Senate acted after Sen. Henry M. Jackson. (D. Wash.) read a letter from the Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov appealing for passage of the Jackson Amendment, a companion measure to the Mills-Vanik Amendment. Earlier Jackson accused Stephen Lazarus, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for East-West Trade, of trying to coerce Soviet Jews to oppose his amendment and to write letters against the
measure. This was denied by Lazarus' deputy, John Connor. Meanwhile spokesmen for such leading American.. Jewish organizations as the Union of American Hebrew Congregations,, the American^ Zionist Federation, Hadassah and the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry urged the House to adopt the Mills-Vanik Amendment.
In Jerusalem the Knesset has rejected a motion by the Likud faction that it is on record in favor of the Jackson - Mills-Vanik amendments, now being

A 30-21 vote in a -» special session upheld the """ government's position on non-interference in what it regards as an internal U.S. matter; Foreign Minister Abba Eban said the op¬ position parties were not giving enough credit to the V.S. for what had been achieved up to now for Soviet Jews. Menaohem Beigin, leader of tht/Gahal wing of Likud, said no Jewish parliament or government could remain neutral on an issue, such as the Jackson Amendment, which , con¬ cerns the fate of Jews.
